Best cuppa I have had recently was from the The Coffee Machine which was a small van parked at Cardiff Riding School last Saturday afternoon. It was fair trade, organic and fantastic inspite of being in a paper cup.

Being a man who loves his coffee i can say without question the best caffeine fix i’ve had, and have on a regular basis, comes from the Herb Garden in Llandrindod Wells.
Not only does the café offer a fantastic Fairtrade cuppa, but they support so many local growers and organisations. The food on offer daily is fresh and truly brilliant, the staff friendly and the entire atmosphere so warm and welcoming i look at it as a home from home!
The Herb Garden Llandrindod Wells is more of an institution than a Café, entirely befitting of my nomination. x
